4. The gentle, gentle Sam, tucking Dean in EVEN AS Dean's saying he's good, he's fine. Proving that he's not only sick but sleepy and confused and wide open to Sammy-pampering.

5. The giving of medicine.

6. The sympathetic chest ache.

7. The socks. The SOCKS.

8. The congestion, and the squeaky whistly breathing, which OK I have to ask - why peanut?

9. The forehead contact.

10. The way Sam just plays along, saying what Dean wants to hear so no conflict's kicked up but then smoothly taking care of him, the thermometer, wow 11. is the thermometer, just being so good to him so sneakily, and Dean too out of it to notice anything more than that in some vague way Sam's given him the impression he thinks he's sick. Which maybe I'm stretching now, but that's what I imagined.

And the aborted sneezes! Which deserve to be 12. as well as 3., because whagh.

I love this trend! Please do more terrible, sneezy things to Dean immediately!
